by the sharp border of the fractured glass. All the wounds of 
the larynx and the pharynx were of a gangrenous appearance. 
OVARECTOMY IN A MoNKEY.— Mr. Harold Leeney tells his 
experience in this operation on a pet animal. Bearing in mind 
the anatomical differences that existed in the genital organs of 
the little patient, and having no difficulty in bringing her under 
the influence of anaesthesia with a mixture of chloroform and 
ether (3 parts to one), the incision of the abdomen was made 
about a quarter of an inch to the left of the linea alba and the 
ovaries removed in the ordinary way. The next morning after 
the operation the animal seemed in perfect health and as if 
nothing had happened to her.— (J/eL Rec?) 
Muetipee Fracture of the Peevis.— It was a regular 
crushing of the right ossa innominata that Mr. Caudwell, F. R. 
C. V. S., found at the post-mortem of a hunter which had 
sustained a severe fall on a paved yard, which had occurred 
when the animal was suddenly started while resting after a 
morning walking exercise. The patient had evinced great suf- - 
fering after the accident and evidently died from internal 
haemorrhage. On removing the skin no surface lesions of any 
consequence were seen. When the abdomen was opened an 
immense quantity of blood escaped, partly consisting of large 
clots. The abdominal and thoracic organs were normal, but 
presented a bloodless appearance. The muscular coat of the 
bladder was much extravasated. On cutting down upon the 
pelvis and the hip joint all the bones of the right side 
were found to be fractured, the fractures extending through the 
acetabulum, which was broken into three portions. The necks ? 
of the ilium and ischium were fractured, also the transverse por- 3 
tions of the os pubis, and the ischium between its symphysis and 
the obturator foramen. There were additional fractures 
through the ischial spine, etc., subdividing the detached por¬ 
tions into thin pieces. The cartilage of the head of the femur 
was somewhat roughened and the muscles of the quarter and 
their intermuscular spaces were extensively extravasated with 
blood.— {Vet. Rec.) 
Geanders in Engeand. —From an interesting statistic pre¬ 
sented by Mr. W. Hunting, F. R. C. V. S., in a paper read be¬ 
fore one of the English veterinary societies it seems that for 
the last five years the disease has gradually diminished. While ^ 
in 1892, 3001 animals were recorded as having been affected, 
the number gradually subsided—in 1893 to 2133—in 1894 to S 
^437 ^^95 to 1594—in 1896 to 1294. From these and ^
